[Hdaps-devel] new hdaps user, hdapsd wont start on fedora core 6

[Igor M. <dow...@gm...>]

I recently upgraded my computer to Fedora Core 6, (i've never tried to run
linux on my laptop before because it never seemed to support hdaps). Anyway,
now apparently Fedora Core 6 comes with hdaps built in , since one can do

# lsmod | grep hdaps
hdaps 14321 0

and get a response back.

However, when I actually try to start hdapsd or manually try to park
my harddrive I get errors:

# hdapsd -v -d sda -s 15
protect_file: /sys/block/sda/queue/protect
threshold: 15
open(protect_file): No such file or directory

# echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/protect
-bash: /sys/block/sda/queue/protect: Permission denied



All of these commands were executed as root, so I'm not sure why I got a
'permission denied', and I would think that if my kernel didn't support
parking it would've said something along those lines.

My kernel version is 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6, I have an IBM X41 Tablet, and I was
wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Thank you,
